Back injuries result from damage, wear, or trauma to the bones, muscles, or other tissues of the back. Common back injuries include sprains and strains, herniated discs, and fractured vertebrae. The lumbar spine is often the site of back pain. The area is susceptible because of its flexibility and the amount of body weight it regularly bears.

• Cold therapy reduces inflammation, edema, pain, and muscle spasms associated with acute back injury.
• Heat therapy is used to reduce pain and alleviate sore and stiff muscles. Heat therapy is proposed to work by facilitating delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the site of injury to accommodate healing.

Neck Rehabilitation differs from physical therapy in that it encompasses the entire range of treatment approaches for your neck pain. It includes the initial use of medication and rest to reduce pain, as well as fitness programs and posture lessons designed to keep the pain from coming back.
